The source told Daily Star, "He was in the running to take over from John Bonham a few years ago and he's still gagging to get on stage with the Zep. While he loves playing with Foo Fighters, Dave would drop anything to be part of Zep's shows."

Grohl was the former drummer of Nirvana who stepped up as the frontman of Foo Fighters in 1995 post Kurt Cobain's death. Should the rumor be true, then he will replace the position of Jason Bonham, son of Zep's original drummer John Bonham who died of asphyxiation in 1980.

A new hint on Zep's other show erupted earlier this week when another source told Daily Mirror on their involvement at 2008 Bonaroo Festival. "They are going to play the Bonnaroo festival, which runs from June 12 to 15," the source quoted as saying. "This news will drive their fans absolutely wild. They have been bombarding their website to get back together for good but only lead singer Robert Plant wasn't keen to commit."

The source went on saying on the possibility of a longer plan, namely a tour. "Now he's had a change of heart and if it all goes well they are also talking about touring."

Re: Dave Grohl To Drum For Zeppelin?

I read an article earlier where Jason was interviewed. He said if they do go on tour/do any more shows, he is not sure if he will participate.

Seeing Dave Grohl drum for Zeppelin would be amazing. I remember hearing rumours about this like.... 5-6 years ago.

Yeah I mentioned this a while ago. And like you said a while ago Dave said he would like to drum for them if given the chance that they got back together and whatnot. The man has 4 Zeppelin tattoos, so ya know.

Re: Dave Grohl To Drum For Zeppelin?

He looked so deleriously happy playing the drums. I could not even imagine his excitement if he got to play for Zeppelin.

Re: Dave Grohl To Drum For Zeppelin?

Drumming is a lot of fun, I miss it. Good Times Bad Times was one of the first songs I learned to play on set, back when I was... 14? I think 14. Imitating Bonham was a good time even though I'm not that big of a Zep fan.

Re: Dave Grohl To Drum For Zeppelin?

one of the highlights of that setlist right htere. i wish i coulda seen him play with qotsa

It was. I was half expecting them too go straight into a Nirvana cover right after too. Obviously, they didn't.

Me too! They came to Van with him on drums when I was... I musta been 14 or 15, and I didn't go. The Distillers were opening up too. That is probably my second biggest regret of a missed show.

Um, I could have written that exact post. My band actually covered "Good Times Bad Times" I used to play all of the time and loved it. Haven't played in like 8 years.

Wow, creepy. I'm at pretty much exactly eight years too I think. Yeah, I stopped when I was sixteen because I wanted to devote all my time to drugs. Fucking miss it, man. Still can't stop drumming on my knees AT ALL.

That just made me laugh out loud. I stopped when I was 24. God I am old. I play on my knees and steering wheel all of the time. I can tell I annoy people on the train but fuck em. They just don't get it. Anyone from Chicago want to start a supergroup? I need to play again

Re: Dave Grohl To Drum For Zeppelin?

The thing that bugs me the most is that when I stopped playing I'd been on this kick of nothing but polyrhythms for like a year straight. So now I permanently have this tendency built into me to play in fucking weird ass time signatures even when I'm just drumming along to a song. Every once in a while I notice people looking at me like, "what the fuck does he think he's playing?" And I just want to say, "look, it matches, you just have to transpose it, fucker."

Re: Dave Grohl To Drum For Zeppelin?

One of the most annoying radio rock bands? Are you referring to Foo Fighters, 'cause I don't think that Dave Grohl drumming in any way qualifies as a collaboration with Foo Fighters. And if you're talking about Nirvana which would be the more apt analogy, well, fuck yourself.

I always wonder if people know the song I am listening to by the drum beat I am playing.
